"God Shintaro it was awful. The skin under his wristbands was dark from being repeatedly scarred in the same area and on top of that, there were angry red cuts everywhere he could hide them. Some of them are so deep that they haven't healed yet and wont stay closed. Stop by and stitch those up, will you?" Aomine said breathlessly, trying his hardest to seem like he wasn't upset.

"..." he could hear the breathing on the other end speed up but no one answered

"Shintaro?" Aomine asked his voice breaking. He couldn't understand how he had failed Tetsu again by not noticing that something was wrong.

"I'm sorry. I will be right there with Takao. Don't cry Aomine. It'll make him feel worse." Midorima finally replied

"I WASN'T GOING TO CRY!" Exclaimed Aomine fiercely even though the both knew the truth.

"Of course not. See you soon." Midorima disconnected the call.

Aomine sighed and walked back out into the living room and sat down next to Kuroko. He draped an arm over Kuroko's shoulders and let Kuroko lean into his body to gain some comfort. They stayed like that for about 5 minutes until they heard knocking at the door.

"Stay here Tetsu. I'll get the door," Aomine said as he got up to open the door.

Midorima and Takao walked in. While Midorima looked even more serious than he usually does, Takao just looked plain sad. Midorima walked over to Kuroko and said "Here. I brought your lucky item for today." while holding out a vanilla milkshake.

Takao scoffed and said "That's not even your lucky item. Shin-chan is just being tsun again. He brought you a milkshake because he was worried about you and wanted you to feel better. Besides, you already have your lucky item: a black wristband."

Kuroko smiled at Midorima and Takao "Thank you Midorima-kun." He showed no other expressions outwards, but on the inside he was a touched that someone like Midorima would go out of their way to bring him his favorite drink.

"So lets take a look at those cuts shall we nanodayo?" Midorima asked

When Kuroko held out his arm, Takao gasped and Midorima stared in astonishment for a second before reverting back to his normal self and getting out some alcohol swabs to clean off the wounds. A silence enveloped the room until Midorima finished wrapping up Kuroko's wrist.

"I think we should tell the Generation of Miracles and Kagami about this," Midorima said quietly, looking away from Kuroko's beseeching eyes.

"I agree with Shintaro," Aomine interjected. "Its what would be best and I think they all need this chance to repent for what happened in middle school. I know I sure as hell need it."

Kuroko sighed and gave into their demands when Takao noticed something interesting.

"Hey Kuroko-kun, where's Nigou?" Takao asked confused

"Oh I left him with Kise-kun because he needed Nigou for a model shoot." Kuroko said.

"Whatever. I'm going to go call up the GoM and tell them to meet us here." Midorima got up and walked outside dialing a number on his phone.

"So...have either of you guys had dinner yet?" Takao asked sheepishly, trying to break the hush that had fallen over the room.

"No. Have you Tetsu?" Aomine replied.

"I-I haven't either." Kuroko whispered.

"Alright! I'll go make dinner for everyone. Is that okay with you Kuroko-kun?" Takao exclaimed.

"Yeah, it's fine,"Kuroko said.

"Great because we all know Shin-chan is a real tsundere when he's hungry..." Takao trailed off when he saw Midorima standing in the doorway radiating annoyance.

"Ummmm...KUROKO WHERE IS THE KITCHEN?" Takao yelled running deep into Kuroko's house to escape the angry tsundere.

"Takao...what. did. you. just. say. about. me?" Midorima asked threateningly.

"TSUNDERE SHIN-CHAN. VERY TSUNDERE OF YOU." Takao yelled back from his safe hiding place.

Midorima sighed frustrated and replied, "Takao one day I will shoot you into the basket instead of the basketball."

"Nooooooooooooo" Takao protested with a laugh bubbling past his lips.

Kuroko and Aomine both shared identical smiles as they watched their friends bickering.

"They all said they would be over soon, so now all we have to do is wait," said Midorima settling down on the couch across from Kuroko and Aomine.
